To be quite literal, let’s face it—festival season—with some of the best eyewear styles that have dropped this Spring 2016. There’s never just one pair of shades to pack when you hit the road to your favorite music fest because there’s never one affair to hit up during Coachella, especially as the daytime brunches and gifting suites turn into nighttime visions of grandeur, with all those well-lit productions taking you into sunrise.
While on the hunt for eyewear brands that make the most sense to cop during Coachella 2016, we dot-comed our way to our staple sunnies and discovered new flavors we’re currently going bananas over. Here’s our list of six sexy hits to face up to as we roll into the desert:
Super by RETROSUPERFUTURE – Zed Bronze
This brand is definitely the future in modern eyewear. Sleek, minimalist styles that still have that rock star sheen to them can be worn during magic hour and left on as you head to that nighttime turn up.
D’Blanc – Strange Fascination
These styles couldn’t describe ALL THE FEELINGS we carry for D’blanc and their shady lifestyle we love to attain. When you’re out there all day long, have a protective view while still touting luxury that’s handmade in Italy.
Crap Eyewear – The Pop Control & The Tuff Patrol
Oh CRAP, they’re always slaying us with plenty of updated styles. Browse for yourself and you’ll notice that you should narrow down the many styles you like. These unisex newbies fit perfectly with a flower crown or your favorite bucket hat.
Smoke X Mirrors – Every. Single. Pair.
What used to be an under-the-radar brand has plenty of hits on the print and digital pages of Harper’s Bazaar, Refinery 29, Vogue and other notable reads. These rock star specs are the headliners during festival season at those seen-to-be-seen gifting suites, and for post-festival wow factor.
Movitra – Light Havana Matte
Some styles are sold out, and that’s cause this whole folding spectacle thing is genius—and festival-proof. With so many different applications and color ways that are monochromatic in flavor, fold these bad boys up especially if you’re a music gent running around from party to dips in all those swell hotel pool parties.
Le Specs – The Wild Child
Le Specs keeps it simple yet has some pretty heavy duty design tips that range from everyday wear—give us those aviator styles for busy LA Mondays—to The Wild Child, The Heiress and others to wear right smack dab in the middle of your favorite Coachella set on the fields.
